Time to eat, drink and be merry

Say it with bubbles

It's time to drink Champagne and blow bubbles, say the award-winning folks at Temple Restaurant Beijing and TRB-Bites. The original restaurant offers an early (7 pm) seating with a six-course dinner (1,231 yuan for two, 438 additional for wine pairing) and a late (8 pm) seating with an eight-course dinner (1,231 yuan per person, 648 yuan additional for wine pairing). TRB-Bites will offer the early-seating menu and price all night on New Year's Eve.
